Motiva Breast Implants: Why Korea Prefers Anatomical (Ergonomix) Over Round Implants 

When considering breast augmentation, one of the most important decisions is the shape of the implant. This choice significantly impacts the final look, feel, and naturalness of your results. Interestingly, there is a notable difference between implant shape preferences in Korea and the United States, especially regarding Motiva breast implants.

In Korea, Motiva implants are exclusively available in the anatomical or teardrop shape, marketed under the name Ergonomix. In contrast, patients in the U.S. can choose between round and Ergonomix implants. This difference reflects cultural preferences and aesthetic ideals that influence how surgeons and patients approach breast augmentation.

What Are Motiva Ergonomix Implants?

Motiva’s Ergonomix implants are designed to mimic the natural shape of the breast. Unlike round implants, which provide uniform fullness, Ergonomix implants have a teardrop or anatomical profile—meaning they are fuller at the bottom and taper toward the top, closely resembling the natural breast contour.

These implants are made with ProgressiveGel Ultima, a highly cohesive gel that moves naturally with the body, offering a soft feel and realistic movement. The SmoothSilk surface reduces friction and irritation, lowering complications like capsular contracture.

The Ergonomix design provides:

• A natural slope and gentle upper pole fullness
• Soft, natural movement with body position
• Long-lasting shape retention

Compared to traditional round implants, Ergonomix implants tend to look more natural, especially in women seeking subtle enhancement.

Implant Shape Preferences in Korea vs. the U.S.

In Korea, the demand for natural-looking breast augmentations is very high. Korean patients prioritize a soft, natural breast shape over dramatic volume or upper pole fullness. As a result, Korean plastic surgeons predominantly use Ergonomix (anatomical) implants, adjusting size, width, and projection to suit each patient’s body.

Korean patients are willing to customize implant dimensions extensively but show little interest in round implants, which can appear less natural and more “augmented.”

In the U.S., the market is more diverse. Many patients prefer round implants for their fuller upper pole and more pronounced cleavage. Others seek the natural contour of anatomical implants. This gives U.S. patients the flexibility to choose based on personal aesthetic goals.

Customizing Implant Size, Volume, and Profile for Natural Results

Whether in Korea or the U.S., achieving natural results depends on more than just shape. Surgeons carefully select implant size, width, and projection to harmonize with the patient’s frame.

• Size: Larger implants create more volume but may look less natural.
• Width: Must match the chest wall for balanced proportions.
• Projection/Profile: Determines how far the implant projects from the chest; Ergonomix implants offer moderate projection with natural tapering.

Korean surgeons excel at tailoring these parameters to achieve subtle, elegant results that avoid an “overdone” appearance.

What This Means for Patients Considering Breast Augmentation

Understanding cultural differences in implant preferences can help patients make informed choices. If you desire a natural breast shape with soft contours, anatomical (Ergonomix) implants may be ideal. If you want more upper fullness and cleavage, round implants might be preferable.

Regardless of preference, thorough consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon is essential to select the implant that best suits your anatomy and goals.

Conclusion

Motiva breast implants offer advanced technology and a range of options to customize your breast augmentation. Korea’s exclusive use of anatomical Ergonomix implants reflects a cultural preference for natural beauty, while the U.S. market provides greater variety. By understanding these differences and working closely with your surgeon, you can achieve beautiful, personalized results that enhance your confidence.
